PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is all right, unlike a viral message featuring two photos which paint a picture that he fell (tersungkur) during prayers (Solat Sunat Aidiladha) at Masjid Negara on Wednesday (Aug 22) morning.

The message, which is spreading on WhatsApp and Facebook, show a picture of Dr Mahathir standing while an unidentified man holds his arm, followed by another photo of him bent over on the floor, supporting himself with his hands.
